12498649 trailing arm from GM performance

It also works the other way: Once you can get decent welds on a lousy machine, you can run ANY machine :P

So there is hope for me I had to redo the front cab mounts on my truck by welding some 1/8" plate on top of the current mounts so the new poly bushings wouldn't pull through after installing a new core support. I've had another time or two that didn't look half bad for one of those blue boxes and flux core

My shop neighbor has an engine dyno and full performance machine shop. Ya I drool when I walk in there. Anyway, I showed him those BMR packages and he laughed at me when I told him getting the bushings was a concern. He also said he could make those trailing arms, to fit a '94 W-body, for around $100 powder coated in the color of choice. This guy turns out show car restoration like I've never seen before. Absolute works of art.

So I was thinking, if I get a few people interested and want them, let me know. He is working out a price to do the control arms too, fully adjustable, just like BMR. Which brings me too.....What else do we want that needs to be made?

Bolt on RWD conversions, lol.

If you have access to a welder, you can reinforce the stock OEM ones pretty easy. It's what we have to do for racing our W bodys on the figure 8 and bump and run circuits. If you don't, after a couple of hard slides, the just crumple.

Just get the welder out, get yourself some roundstock, angle iron, plate steel, etc, and get jiggy with it.

Maybe with a decent machine I can get some decent welds

Keep looking. The Eastwood machines are Communist Chinese; although Eastwood tries to spin it otherwise by pretending it isn't made by some other company with Eastwood decals slapped on the side.

using the Dorman replacement trailing arms as they are boxed in instead of the U-channel garbage that comes stock. They are dirt cheap too.

Wouldn't say they are crazy strong but def an improvement over factory and at like 18$ a piece why not!
